In order to explore the historical facts about an old taxation system on windows in the United Kingdom, read on. The window tax was a tax which was introduced into the United Kingdom in the late 17th century by King William the third. He was finding it hard to find a way to tax people based on their income or wealth because many people refused to tell the king how much they earned. They felt it was a completely private matter and certainly no business of the King.

Of his subjects, the King decided that the most fair method of taxation would be by looking at the size of people’s houses. Each person who owned a house would have to pay a fixed fee of 2 shillings. This is about 10 pence in the new system. As well as this, if the house was large and contained more than 10 windows, there were extra taxes to pay.

While using a DIY Guide to painting and decorating sash windows, just follow the simple steps, and you will find this task to be easy and fun. First, remove the locks on the windows. They should have two screws. Then remove any putty and other sealants that have been placed on the window with a putty knife. You can also use a straight edge razor to remove old paint from the window glass, if necessary. Then sand all the rough spots to create a smooth finish for painting. Wipe off all the excess sand with a damp cloth, and when it dries you will be ready to paint.

To protect the glass from painting it in error and splashes, you can use masking tape or painters tape, but do not worry if you accidentally paint the glass. It comes off easy enough while it is still wet. If it does dry, this can always be easily removed with the edge of a straight razor.

There is an alternative to building with wood, straw bales. A straw bale house uses straw bales either as insulation or as the structural building block of the home. People may be surprised to learn that the early settlers, especially out on the plains where wood is scarce, turned to straw bales as a construction material. Straw is what is left after grain heads has been stripped from the stem. At some point in the 1890s, settlers started building homes, barns and schools with straw bales and a few are still standing today. The early ones weren’t meant to be permanent but once someone started applying mud or plaster to the exterior, these early settlers found that the inside stayed cool in the summer and warm in the winter and was almost fire resistant due to the tightly compacted bales.
